With Easter just finishing we had plenty of left over plastic eggs so we put these lovely guys together and you can too…so very easily! We even put a super cute spin on these guys and used LED Tealight candles to make them glow!

To make your own you will need:

Minions

Yellow & blue plastic eggs

Black electric tape

Googley eyes

Black sharpie/permanent marker

Glue – PVA or a glue gun

LED Tealight candles (optional)

‘Evil Minions’

Purple plastic eggs

Black electric tape

Googley eyes

Purple pom poms

Sharpie/permanent marker

Liquid paper pen

Glue – PVA or a glue gun

LED Tealight candles (optional)

Minions

Step 1

Take a yellow plastic egg & a blue plastic egg and split them

Step 2

Piece them back together so that the blue is on the bottom and yellow on top

Step 3

Cut a small length of electric tape and cut that in half then wrap around the top 1/3 of the minion to create the beginnings of his ‘goggles’

Step 4

Stick on your googley eye

Step 5

Draw the Minions facial features on using your permanent marker (note: if you google ‘minion faces’ you will get plenty of ideas on what to draw!)

If you want to go one step further…you can make them glow!

Step 6

Add a battery to your tea light, open your plastic egg and insert it! It’s that easy! So cool!

Now for the…

Evil Minions

Step 1

Take a purple plastic egg then cut a small length of electric tape and cut that in half then wrap around the top 1/3 of the minion to create the beginnings of his ‘goggles’

Step 2

Add your googley eyes

Step 3

Using your black permanent marker, draw the outline of the mouth

Step 4

Colour in the teeth using the liquid paper pen (you may want to go over it again with the black marker)

Step 5

Take your purple pom pom and pull it apart to resemble their crazy hair and glue on

Again, if you want to make them glow, simply add your LED Tealight candle to the centre of your egg!

I am so in love with these little guys..I hope you are too!
